Two Catholic clergymen accused of
historical sex abuse charges evaded media as they arrived in Christchurch on
a flight from Sydney late last night. Father Raymond Garchow, 59, and
Brother Rodger Moloney, 71, were whisked away from the airport's public area.
They were accompanied on the
flight by their lawyer, Greg Walsh, who told media: "It is inappropriate
for me to comment while the matter is before the New Zealand courts. Their
fight for justice has just begun and they maintain their innocence." The pair were going to defend the
charges, he said, and were due in court this morning. They were last night
taken to the Christchurch Central Police Station. Moloney faces 28 charges of abusing
boys at Marylands, a Christchurch school run by the St John of God order.
Garchow faces four charges. The pair have fought their extradition from
Australia
